Simply

I didn't get much done today between helping Reagan get stuff done on Base, workmen doing stuff to our townhouse (termite guy, and a new kitchen sink)... and buying (!) Reagan a new (!) car. (One of these in blue.)

We left home at quarter to five and didn't get home till nine thirty. I'm a little worn out.

Instead of all the fanfare and hoop-de-dah of showing off our new place* I'll just leave you with one of my favorite homey little details:



Here you see Reagan's shaving towel (bottom right) and my old (oooold) bath towel (bottom left) hanging inside the door to the master bath, paired with bright and soft hand towels from Ikea. On the floor is a navy blue bath mat that has a nubby texture that is delightful underfoot in the mornings.

I also like the bathroom's silver switchplate. I may need to get a silver doorknob at some point. :>


(Talked to my mom on the phone tonight for the first time in a couple weeks. Brief, but nice.)

*At one point I'd thought it would get significantly better in furnishings and decor, but the car payment is a bit steeper than expected, so until I start earning the dough, certain projects and details around the home will have to wait.
